Fresh, crunchy and delicious, this modernized vegan Waldorf salad features a creamy dressing that replaces traditional mayonnaise with the richness of tahini. This spin on the signature dressing combines the nutty goodness of tahini with the zing of fresh lemon juice, a hint of sweetness from maple syrup, and a touch of tanginess from apple cider vinegar. This refreshing salad brings together sweet red apples, tart green apples, crunchy celery and walnuts over a bed of baby spinach for a palate-pleasing combination of textures and flavors.
